Countries with hot climate
♦ Countries with hot and super hot climates have elevated peak
temperatures (50°C) compared with the European average
(25°C).
♦ Locally high ambient temperatures have an influence on the
longevity of the engine, gearbox and coolant circuit, such as
journeys uphill and at higher speeds as well as start/stop op‐
eration.
